Ado Annie ASN, RN

Med/Surg

Nursing is my second career, and I'm so glad I made the change. I don't always love it, but most of the time I do.

    dianah, how wonderful to have your guitar back! Hello, all! Sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon while Hubs tries to figure out how to get to the alternator in "my" car. Keeping all the...

    Hi Joe, yes, I think I prefer singing, too. Hope you've had another good day. Interesting day at work, though looking back on it, I can't single anything out that made it particularly...

    Stars, there's a lot I don't know about fluid collection, third spacing, and the like, too. It does sound as if your dh finally has a real plan and support from the medical side. That's encouraging....

    It is interesting that some people are able to avoid lung cancers. My mother was a smoker who was proud to have better lung capacity than many nonsmokers. But COPD caused problems in later life. And...

    Twin A called to tell me about the shooting at the hospital in Tulsa. I could tell it unnerved him and had him worried about his mom. Hubs texted that he now has some fever and chills. I told...

    Must have been a bad night for sleeping. I woke up about 2 am to a thunderstorm. Dory was nervous but at least it was a normal thunderstorm nervous, not a cognitive dysfunction fueled panic. Finally...

    We didn't go to the water. I knew the day was done for when Hubs rolled over this morning and asked me to get the thermometer. He doesn't have fever but his voice is hoorifice and deep and he's...

    Ah, Stars, sorry about your stomach but glad that Nannie had such a good day. It would be hard if she moped and worried about your dh. Joe, is your crockpot recipe one you want to share?...

    Stars, I hope this gets your dh back on a healthier track. And that your weekend with Nannie is uneventful. We're going to watch some more episodes of Stranger Things. Twin B and I did a big...

    I stayed up late watching the new season of Stranger Things with the family. I made them quit after 3 episodes because I can't do the marathon binge. I guess that's how we'll spend our holiday...

    We finally saw the sun again today. And a blue sky! Slow day at work. Twin A came home complaining of stomach woes (will we ever escape this?). He had an interview today for a team lead position at...

    Trying to stay awake through an Outpatient Quality Reporting webinar. I really think I'm a bit ADHD and either can't focus or focus too deeply on minutiae. There is a new (voluntary for now) measure...

    RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    Ado Annie replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I've spent a good deal of time thinking about justice as it relates to this case. I do think the hospital failed her, and I would like to hear that someone is being held accountable for the failure to...

    Stars, kudos to your dh for handling the computer situation so well! Oh, kittens are so very cute they're hard to resist, but I can understand the appeal of an older, more settled cat (and they need...

    One of my friends posted a meme on facebook that said the temperature went from 90 to 55 like it saw a state trooper. And that's what it did. Cool and overcast today. I accomplished very little...

    Joe, that was nice of you to stay and take care of things so your super-busy coworker wouldn't have to. Even with rain, I hope you can enjoy your time in Wisconsin. Stars, your brain waves...

    92 degrees here. It was really pleasant when I left this morning. I guess that's the time to do work outside. The hospital got good news about our appeal to CMS on the stuff that happened before...

    My apologies. I did mean HR rep. But my finger found ER. I will just consider myself lucky that I didn't strain anything rolling my eyes so hard at her "accountability" and move on. Last choir...

    Tweety, that sounds like good news. Hope you can get the good rates. Why is insurance so expensive and hard to get? Hurricanes? Joe, hoping for calmer days and a good trip to Madison....

    So sorry, J22. It does make things more difficult. I hope he gets better quickly. Must be the day for upset tummies. I came home and helped Twin B finish getting dinner ready. Hubs came in,...

    Stayed a bit late at work to finish reporting our staff Covid vaccination rates to NHSN, which *should* then transfer to HQR so that CMS will, we hope, not dock our reimbursements. I did the best I...

    Just popping in real quick to brag on Dory-dog. This morning she woke Twin B and insisted on go in out. But then she just ran out a few feet, looked around, and went back in. Twin B noticed on his way...
